Here are the key positive and negative effects of thermoregulation:
Positive effects:
- Maintaining core body temperature within a narrow range allows the body and brain to function optimally.
- Heat acclimatization through training can improve the body's ability to dissipate heat and reduce performance decrements in hot conditions.
Negative effects:
- Excessive heat from high ambient temperatures or strenuous exercise can lead the body to decrease power output and speed to avoid overheating.
- If the body is unable to properly cool itself through sweating or increased blood flow, it can result in heat illness like heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
- In cold conditions, maintaining core temperature requires additional calorie expenditure
UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a standard modeling language used in software engineering. It provides a set of graphic notation techniques to create visual models of object-oriented software systems. UML is used to visualize, specify, construct, and document different aspects of a software system. It helps system designers, developers and stakeholders communicate and understand the key aspects of a software system such as functions, data and architecture. UML models can be created at different stages of the software development life cycle from requirements specification to design and implementation.

- Heat acclimatization through training can improve the body's ability to dissipate heat and reduce performance decrements in hot conditions.
Negative effects:
- Excessive heat from high ambient temperatures or strenuous exercise can lead the body to decrease power output and speed to avoid overheating.
- If the body is unable to properly cool itself through sweating or increased blood flow, it can result in heat illness like heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
- In cold conditions, maintaining core temperature requires additional calorie expenditure
UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a standard modeling language used in software engineering. It provides a set of graphic notation techniques to create visual models of object-oriented software systems. UML is used to visualize, specify, construct, and document different aspects of a software system. It helps system designers, developers and stakeholders communicate and understand the key aspects of a software system such as functions, data and architecture. UML models can be created at different stages of the software development life cycle from requirements specification to design and implementation.

Here are the key factors that affect which liquid works best for watering plants:
- Water content - Plants need water to carry out photosynthesis and grow. Water is the best option as it provides the necessary hydration without additional substances.
- Nutrient content - While some liquids like milk provide extra nutrients, too many can burn or damage plants. Water has the right balance of containing no extra nutrients to harm plants.
- Acidity - Highly acidic liquids like vinegar can lower the soil's pH and damage roots. Water is neutral.
- Sugar/calorie content - Drinks with added sugar lack the nutrients of water and can feed mold or attract pests if spilled on soil.
- Chemicals

The passage discusses the debate around nationalizing healthcare in the United States. It argues that national healthcare is necessary because it saves lives, decreases costs, and increases access to care. While some oppose national healthcare on grounds of individual liberty and cost, the passage counters that everyone must contribute to offset costs for disadvantaged groups, and ensuring access to healthcare falls under the government's power to regulate interstate commerce. Most other developed nations recognize healthcare as a basic human right.

The founding of Israel has its roots in World War 2, when millions of Jews fled Germany to escape persecution by Hitler. After the war, the Zionist movement advocated for Jewish refugees to settle in Palestine. In 1947, the UN proposed partitioning Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. Israel declared independence in 1948, though this was met with hostility from surrounding Arab nations. Conflict has persisted between Israel and neighboring Arab countries ever since.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Abstract
This is the text of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was
signed by ICANN, the IETF, the ITU-T, W3C and ETSI on July 14, 1999
in Oslo. This MoU creates the Protocol Support Organization (PSO)
within the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
(ICANN). This MoU was developed by representatives of the IETF, ITU,
W3C, ETSI, and ICANN with the help of Jorge Contreras of Hale and
Dorr.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
July 14, 1999
ICANN Protocol Supporting Organization
(1) Purpose and Scope
(a) The Protocol Support Organization (PSO) will be a consensus-
based advisory body within the ICANN framework.
(b) The PSO will establish a "Protocol Council" and host an
annual open meeting (the "General Assembly").
(c) The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is to
establish a set of principles that ICANN and the Standards
Development Organizations who have signed below (the Signing
SDOs) will use in forming and operating the PSO
Bradner Informational [Page 1]
2. RFC 2691 MoU for an ICANN PSO September 1999
(2) Composition and Action of Protocol Council
(a) Size. Each Signing SDO will appoint two (2) members to the
Protocol Council, each such member to serve for a time period
determined by such Signing SDO.
(b) Each Signing SDO shall be responsible for choosing its
members of the Protocol Council in a manner of its own
choosing, and in accordance with its own open procedures.
Each Signing SDO may remove or replace one or both of its
members on the Protocol Council in its discretion. Each
Signing SDO must notify the Protocol Council Secretary and
ICANN when it changes its members and, in addition, must
ratify its choices at least annually.
(c) Selection and Appointment. Concurrently with the posting of
notice of the date of the annual meeting of the PSO General
Assembly on the PSO Web Site, ICANN and the Protocol Council
shall make an open call for nominations to any potential
vacancies on the Protocol Council. Any nominations received
will be forwarded to the Signing SDOs eligible to appoint
members (i.e., they do not already have two members on the
Protocol Council) for their consideration.
(d) Action by Protocol Council. Unless otherwise specified in
this MOU, all actions of the Protocol Council shall be taken
by majority vote of the total number of members. Action may
be taken at any meeting of the Protocol Council, which may be
by telephone conference in which all participants can hear
the others. Meetings of the Protocol Council may be called
by request of any three members of the Protocol Council, with
at least 45 days for physical meetings or fifteen (15) days
for telephonic or other electronic meetings prior written
notice to each of the other members. In order to conduct
business at any meeting of the Protocol Council, at least a
quorum of members must be present; a quorum shall be present
when at least majority of the members of the Protocol Council
are present, and when such members represent at least 3/4ths
of the Signing SDOs.
(e) Web Site. The Protocol Council will arrange for the
establishment and maintenance of a Web site devoted to PSO
activities and news.
(f) Secretary. The Protocol Council will have a Secretary to
coordinate administrative matters relating to the PSO and
Protocol Council. The Secretary’s term of office shall be
one year. The position of Secretary will rotate among the
Bradner Informational [Page 2]
3. RFC 2691 MoU for an ICANN PSO September 1999
Signing SDOs, with the initial Secretary to be selected by
the IETF, and subsequent Secretaries to be appointed by a
randomly selected Signing SDO that has not appointed the
Secretary in the current rotation.
(g) No Compensation. Neither the Secretary, nor any Protocol
Council member or designated ICANN Board member shall be
entitled to any compensation or reimbursement of expenses
from the PSO. The PSO shall not be required to obtain
insurance coverage for, or to indemnify, the members of the
Protocol Council or persons acting in any other capacity by
or for the PSO.
(3) ICANN Directors
(a) The Protocol Council will appoint Directors to the ICANN
Board of Directors in accordance with the By-laws of ICANN,
for such terms as are specified by such By-laws. ICANN will
notify the Protocol Council of any vacancies on the ICANN
Board which may be filled by the Protocol Council.
(b) The Protocol Council will conduct an open call for
nominations for any open PSO seats on the ICANN Board. Each
Signing SDO is entitled to nominate candidates by procedures
of its own choosing. Additionally, nominations from the
public at large will be allowed under conditions to be
defined by the Protocol Council. The Protocol Council will
select the PSO nominees to the ICANN Board from among these
nominees. ICANN Directors selected by the Protocol Council
may, but need not, be members of the Protocol Council or any
SDO.
(c) No more than 2 PSO-nominated Directors may be residents of
the same Geographic Region (as defined in the ICANN By-laws).
(d) The ICANN Directors appointed by the Protocol Council will
not represent the PSO on the ICANN Board, but will function
as full Directors of ICANN.
(4) Duties of Protocol Council
(a) Advisory Role. The Protocol Council will advise the ICANN
Board on matters referred to the Protocol Council by the
ICANN Board relating to the assignment of parameters for
Internet protocols.
Bradner Informational [Page 3]
4. RFC 2691 MoU for an ICANN PSO September 1999
(b) Policy Development
(i) In the tradition of the Internet, standards development
policies and conflict resolution mechanisms should be
created and utilized by those institutions most
directly involved, without undue interference from
centralized bodies.
(ii) The ICANN By-laws vest in the PSO the primary
responsibility for developing and recommending
substantive policies in the area of protocol parameter
assignment.
(iii) The PSO is committed to the proposition that policies
for parameter assignments for particular protocols are
the responsibility of the individual Signing SDO that
developed the protocol.
(iv) The Protocol Council, and, when requested, ICANN, will
be available as needed by the Signing SDOs to develop
policies and procedures for conflict resolution between
Signing SDOs.
(v) Any such policies and procedures will be adopted only
with the agreement of all SDOs.
(5) Annual Open Meeting
(a) The Protocol Council will periodically convene an open
meeting ("General Assembly") for promoting discussion and
receiving input regarding the work of the PSO.
(b) A General Assembly will be held at least once per year, and
will permit open participation by all interested individuals.
(c) Each annual General Assembly will be hosted by a Signing SDO
in conjunction with one of its major meetings, as determined
by the Protocol Council (with an effort to hold no 2
consecutive General Assemblies in the same Geographic
Region.)
(d) It is expected that the major organizations within the
Internet protocol standards development community will
provide the constituency of the General Assembly.
(6) Open Proceedings and Documents
(a) Communications between ICANN and the Protocol Council. All
official communications between ICANN and the Protocol
Council will be made public on the PSO web site. In the
event that ICANN requests that a communication be kept
Bradner Informational [Page 4]
5. RFC 2691 MoU for an ICANN PSO September 1999
confidential, the Protocol Council will honor this request
for a fixed period of time not to exceed one year, and then
make the communication public.
(b) Protocol Council Proceedings. All meetings of the Protocol
Council and official discussions of Protocol Council business
will be conducted or reported on a publicly-archived mailing
list accessible through the PSO web site.
(c) Meeting Announcements. The schedule and agenda for the PSO
General Assembly will be posted on the PSO Web Site at least
90 days in advance of the meeting date. Notice of Protocol
Council meetings will be posted on the PSO Web at least 45
days before each physical meeting or fifteen (15) days before
any telephonic or other electronic meeting, or such shorter
time period agreed upon by each of the Signing SDOs. The
minutes from all PSO meetings will be publicly posted on the
PSO web site within 30 days of the meeting.
(7) Review and Modification of MOU. ICANN and the Signing SDOs will
periodically review the results and consequences of their
cooperation under this MOU. When appropriate, the signatories
will consider the need for improvements in the MOU and make
suitable proposals for modifying and updating the arrangements
and scope of the MOU. Any modification to the MOU must be
approved by all signatories.
(8) Standards Development Organizations
(a) The initial signatories to this MOU shall include ICANN and
the Signing SDOs who have signed below. Each Signing SDO
must be an international, Internet-related standards
development organization that establishes that it meets the
criteria for SDOs set forth below.
(i) SDOs must be open, international, voluntary technical
standard and technical specification development
organizations which:
(A) Develop standards and/or specifications for use
over the public Internet.
(B) Can demonstrate active membership in the IP-related
standards and/or specification development process

(C) Has been in operation for 3 or more years at the
time of their application.
(D) Can demonstrate that there is significant
deployment of its standards on the Internet.
(E) The significant protocols controlled by the
organization can be implemented without paying a
licensing fee to the organization.
(ii) Open, international, voluntary standards organizations
are defined as international organizations that plan,
develop or establish voluntary standards. An
organization shall be considered open and international
if its standards and/or specifications development
process is open to any person or organization of any
nationality on equitable terms. An organization shall
be considered voluntary if it makes no claim to compel
use of its standards and specifications. Additionally,
to be considered ’international’, an organization’s
voting (or other "full") membership must include
individuals or companies primarily located in at least
three different Geographic Regions and at least two
different countries within each of those Geographic
Regions.
(b) New Signatories
(i) Any organization that believes it satisfies the SDO
qualifications set forth above may apply in writing to
the Protocol Council to become a party to this MOU.
In order for an organization to become a party to this
MOU, all then-existing MOU signatories must agree that
such organization qualifies as an SDO.
(ii) Rejected applicants can appeal to the ICANN Board,
which may override such a rejection if the ICANN Board
finds, by at least a two-thirds vote, that the
organization meets the SDO criteria set forth above.
(iii) Any organization that is accepted as an SDO under this
MOU must execute a copy of this MOU, and agree to be
bound by all of its terms and conditions, upon which it
shall be considered a Signing SDO for all purposes
under this MOU.

(9) General. This MOU does not constitute any of the parties as
a partner, joint venture, agent, principal or franchisee of
any other party. The waiver of any provision of this MOU on
any occasion shall not constitute a waiver for purposes of
any other occasion. No party may transfer or assign any
interest, right or obligation arising under this MOU without
the prior written consent of each other party to this MOU.
